Last week, during CD Projekt Fall 2011 Conference, we've launched a counter on the main page which indicated the number of unique games downloaded at GOG.com. Today that counter hit 6 million unique game downloads, and to celebrate this fact and to thank all of you at GOG.com, together with Revolution Software, we're lowering the price for first part of the acclaimed Broken Sword series to “free"! In order to receive the free copy of Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars free, go to the gamecard and click on “download now”, at which point the game will be added to your game shelf.

The special offer for Broken Sword is valid until October 1, at 7:59 a.m. EDT (11:59 a.m. GMT), so be sure to grab it by then and don’t forget to share the news with all your friends!!!

I had arcanum and vampire masquerade in my library too which I think were both limited time free things from GoG. I always add free items when I spot them to my GoG library. I don't tend to buy stuff from them much though, both because of price (I'd prefer to buy packs and collections of stuff, but their prices don't seem as good as steam has spoiled me to expect), and in large part because of the contempt they showed for customers during the whole fake shutdown thing and fake arrogant apology following it. Maybe they will eventually change my mind into buying stuff from them again, and offering free goodies like this is a good start.

Not really all that happy with the Director's Cut, though - I miss having the Paris opening at the front of the game. Plus, playing the original in ScummVM with its resolution upconverting modes kind of makes for better graphics on modern screens than what the DC pulls off.

GOG gives you both versions and the files for the original version can be used in ScummVM, so no worries.
